Vincent: why not introducing a "Developer" user, in addition of the "Admin", in the Jetty/HSQLDB package? It could even be done on snapshot versions only, since this is what developers use the most. I'm not in favor of introducing a shortcut key because it would concern every users who might engage the shortcut by mistake, resulting in a WTF effect. Moreover, we already have too many shortcuts IMO, and they can be in conflict with browser's ones (think Ctrl+G for example). I believe a "Developer" user is what we really need.

Hi,
A simple change that could improve the experience for newcomers would be that the default Admin user to have a simple type.
One of the problems new users have is that they have too many options in the Edit menu and this can be confusing.
The downside is that it will add an additional step for developers/testers to change the user type back (or at least until we provide a Developer user/profile).
Also we would need to make sure the documentation is up to date and fix the tests.
WDTY?
You're talking about the jetty+hsqldb distribution (the "ZIP Package" available on the download page)? Is this the most used / downloaded distribution? Because the other distributions don't have the Admin user, see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/ DistributionWizard#HAdminuser .
Is the Admin user that is created a simple user?
Two options: 1) either he is, in which case this gives another argument for creating the Admin user as a simple user for the HSQLDB/Jetty packaging 2) either he’s not (ie he’s created as an advanced one) and in this case we should fix that in 2 places (in the HSLQDB/Jetty packaging + in the code that creates the Admin user for the other packagins).
Thanks -Vincent
